What is racism? Show it to me. |

Being labelled a “racist” is scary. If you scour the Internet, you will find a few confessed racists. For the most part, though, “racism” is a doctrine we ascribe to others in order to damn and ostracize them. The strange result: While we hear endless debates about whether a person, idea, or practice is “racist,” we rarely hear arguments against racism itself. Arguments of the form, “Racism is wrong because…”
So suppose you wanted to construct such arguments. What would they be? Many people would start with something like, “Racism is wrong because it has been used to justify mass murder and slavery.” True enough. But you could just as easily say, “Equality is wrong because it has been used to justify mass murder and slavery.” See any episode of revolutionary communism.
Fortunately, an ironclad argument against racism does exist. An argument simple enough for a child to understand, yet compelling enough for an adult to embrace. Namely:
Racism is wrong because collective guilt is wrong.
In my childhood, I heard the ironclad argument against racism frequently. But I sense that it’s no longer popular. Why not? Because once you reject collective guilt, you have to abandon any notion of collectively punishing racism itself! And that is largely what the fashionable creed of “Anti-Racism” is all about.
In the past, most whites were racist. Even today, many are. Without collective guilt, however, you have no basis for punishing whites in general. You couldn’t tell a white college applicant, “We’re going to discriminate against you, because white people in the past discriminated against blacks.” Or even, “We’re going to discriminate against you, because modern whites continue to discriminate against blacks.” Instead, you would have to tailor any punishment for specific misdeeds - ever mindful of the danger that if you stray into collective guilt, the punisher himself deserves punishment.
"Racism" is wrong because it's anti-white.
In fact, as the writer alludes to, racism essentially begets racism (anti-racist just means anti-white).
The problem with abstractions like "racism" is that they're malleable to interpretation. Meaning, "racism" just means whatever the believer wants it to mean. Which, in turn, makes it objectively meaningless and nothing more than a weaponized epithet (i.e., a bad word).
Normie whites (like the guy writing this article) are even starting to see the hypocrisy that comes with "racism." Racism is a racist scam used to usurp the power of whites in spaces that whites created.
The way that happened was normie whites accepting "racism" as something tangible, thus enabling "racism" to function as an arbitrator of morality.
Once anti-whites were able to establish that racism was a universal bad, it was pretty much game over from there. The battle was over morality, and that was lost decades ago. So, now the best working white rebuttal to accusations of racism is essentially a child's game of: "I'm rubber, you're glue, bounces off me and sticks to you." Or, "I know you are, but what am I?"
Pathetic, right?
Racism isn't real. It's just a word. But people speak about it like they can look out their window and see it walking down the street. Like an episode of Word World or something: "Mommy, look! Racism is in our yard and he looks angry. I hope he doesn't call us any bad names. Or huff and puff and blow our house down!"
The amazing thing about "racism" is that a word single-handedly helped bring down the white American empire. The fear of being called a bad word kept whites from acknowledging observable behaviors and racial realities.
Imagine that. The big bad white supremacist who oppresses everyone with dark skin is defeated by the "r word."
Truth is often stranger than fiction.
The fear of being labeled a racist made whites keep their mouths shut and look the other way while they were systemically pillaged, and their resources usurped by envious anti-whites. That will be the prevailing legacy of "racism."
Racism also shows us how powerful slave morality can be. White people are so bad, but you can make them feel bad and steal all of their shit. Isn't that ironic? White people are inherently evil, but you can call them a bad word and hurt their feelings then steal all of their power. Funny how that works, right?
Furthermore, racism is the best thing that ever happened to black people (Africans would still be in Africa living life without white supremacy). And the worst thing that has ever happened to whites (America would be what America was designed to be).
Yet, racism isn't even real. It's just a socially engineered psyop used as a disguise in a robbery of power. Why else do you think they have been deconstructing reality for the last 50 years, with the goal of making reality a social construct?
